5. The form is now ready for use and can be integrated into any post or page. Just create a new page and add [wpfepp_submission_form form=”X”] in the content area. Replace X with the form ID. The form should look something like this:
6. On a different page use the shortcode [wpfepp_post_table form=”X”]. This shortcode will create a list of posts with edit and delete links. The list will contain all the posts of the post type supported by form X. It should look something like this:

Customizing A Form

3. On the next screen you will see a list of form fields. You can drag and drop these fields to rearrange them or click on a field to change its settings.
4. Once you are fully satisfied with your form save your changes and see them in action on the frontend.

Defining Restrictions for a Field

One of the things that set Frontend Publishing Pro apart from the multitude of form plugins available on the Internet is that it allows you to define restrictions such as word range, maximum links, number of comma-separated sections and so on. A post is not created until all the requirements are met. To define restrictions for a particular form field:

1. Go to Frontend Publishing Pro > Forms and start editing the form for which you want to define restrictions.
2. On the next screen click on any field to slide open its settings. In this case, we will use the Content field as an example. This is what it looks like on the settings page:

Now you can drag and drop validators and sanitizers onto this field to add restrictions. For instance, you could add the Min Words validator to the field and the user will not be able to create a post until it meets the word requirement. If you do not want to define a particular restriction just leave it empty or remove it. For instance, if you don’t want to set a maximum word count limit then just leave the area empty.

Working with Custom Fields

If you want to save a user-entered value as post meta then you should create a custom field. Here’s how you can do so:

1. Go to Frontend Publishing Pro > Forms and start editing the form for which you want to create a custom field.
2. On the right side of the page you will notice a box titled ‘Custom Fields’. Its looks like this:

Enter a label along with a valid meta key and hit the Add button. Your new custom field will show up under the default form fields. Let’s say you want to give your users the ability to submit a byline along with each post. All you have to do is create a custom field by entering a label and a valid meta key like ‘byline’ or ‘about_the_author’. After that you can get the byline for each post by using something like this:

<?php $byline = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'byline', true ); ?>

KICKCUBE is using 2 Custom Fields

If you haven’t installed the demo content with the 1 click demo install option, you’ll need to create manually 2 custom fields: Embed Code and Article Source Link:

Go to Frontend Publishing Pro > Forms and start editing the form for which you want to create a custom field.

1. First, create the “Embed Code” for the label add “Embed Code” and for meta Key add “kickcube_embed” and click add. Note: You can change the label name, but you can change the meta key.
2. Second, create the “Article Source Link” for the label add “Article Source Link” and for meta Key add “kickcube_source” and click add. Note: You can change the label name, but you can change the meta key.
